Just want to make sure I have a grasp on the code provided.
- This server action will cache for 1 hour, meaning that if I refresh the page (let's say after 30 seconds), then a new request won't be made, but rather the cached data will be used?
- I can also use revalidateTag() to manually udpdate the cache?

Thanks!

@garder ISR isn't a solution ?

I'm not really asking for an alternative, just want to know if I understand what the code snippet is doing correctly
If that's not what's happening, I'll definitely look into ISR

ISR IS the native way for caching in NextJs

For Pages Router : https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/incremental-static-regeneration

And for App Router it's just that :

Actually it will revalidate After the Time (In second) you have set, and will refetch again and start another timeout...

So this is true?
